Nouakchott–Oumtounsy International (NKC) is Mauritania’s main international gateway and typically handles a mix of regional and a few long-haul flights, serving national carriers and several African and European operators. It’s positioned as the country’s primary hub rather than a budget or low-cost base, so services and facilities can be limited compared with larger international airports. The terminal lies around 25–30 km east of downtown Nouakchott; road transfers by taxi or private car usually take 30–50 minutes depending on traffic, with fares often reflecting local rates. Shuttle options may be sporadic and car hire is commonly used for flexibility. Pros: direct international connections and straightforward layouts; cons: limited amenities and infrequent public transport links.

Moscow is served by several airports with distinct roles. Sheremetyevo (SVO) typically functions as the primary international hub, hosting major carriers and alliances and often handling long-haul and premium services; it lies about 29 km northwest of the city center and can be reached by Aeroexpress train in roughly 35–45 minutes (ticket fares usually in the mid-range) or by taxi in 40–70 minutes depending on traffic. Domodedovo (DME) is another large international airport popular with both legacy and low-cost carriers; it sits roughly 42 km south of central Moscow and connects via Aeroexpress in about 45 minutes or by road in 45–90 minutes. Vnukovo (VKO) commonly handles domestic and some international flights with a mix of full-service and budget airlines, around 28 km southwest and accessible by Aeroexpress in about 35–40 minutes or by car in 30–60 minutes. Zhukovsky (ZIA) can be used for charter and low-cost operations, located about 40 km southeast and typically relying on buses, taxis, or longer transfers. Pros include broad airline choice and multiple ground-transport options; cons can be varying travel times due to heavy traffic, multiple airports to check for connections, and occasional premium service concentration at the larger hubs.
